TEACHER AI uses the collected data for various purposes:
By accepting this Privacy Policy, you approve that you are solely responsible for all your actions and fully understand the statements outlined in this Privacy Policy.
If you are an EU Person and to process your Personal Data we need to receive your consent, as prescribed by GDPR, we will process your Personal Data only in the case we have received from you a freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of your wishes by which you signify agreement to the processing of your Personal Data ("Consent").
You may give your Consent by ticking a checkbox when filling out a registration form on the Website. In the case you tick the respective box, you irrevocably and unconditionally consent and agree that TEACHER AI shall be entitled to process your Personal Data as indicated by your Consent.
Your Consent covers all processing activities with your Personal Data carried out for the same purpose or purposes. When the Processing has multiple purposes, your Consent should be deemed given for all of them.
You have the right to withdraw your Consent at any time. You can submit such a request by sending us an email to hi@yourteacher.ai. Your withdrawal of Consent shall not affect the lawfulness of your Personal Data processing based on Consent before its withdrawal.
Except as required or enabled by law, we will not use or disclose your Personal Data for any purpose for which you refuse Consent or later withdraw your Consent.
If you are not an EU Person, by transferring to us your Personal Data via the Website or otherwise, you irrevocably and unconditionally consent and agree that we shall be entitled, in accordance with this Privacy Policy:
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), privacy rights are granted, and all processing of Personal Data is performed in accordance with regulations and rules following Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of Personal Data and on the free movement of such data, known as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR").
If you are located in California, all processing of Personal Data is performed in accordance with regulations and rules following the California Consumer Privacy Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq. ("CCPA").
If you are located in another country or jurisdiction, the relevant data protection law will apply there for you.
Subject to possible restrictions under national law, as a data subject under the GDPR, you may have certain rights regarding the Personal Data we collect on you.
Under Chapter 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the rights of the data subjects include the following:
How to use these rights. To exercise any of the above-mentioned rights, you should primarily use the functions offered by the Website. If such functions are insufficient for exercising such rights, you shall send us a letter or email to the address set out below under the Privacy Policy, including the following information: name, address, phone number, email address, and a copy of a valid proof of identity. We may request additional information necessary to confirm your identity. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, excessive, or manifestly unfounded.
If you wish to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please contact us via support@yourteacher.ai.
We store your Personal Data for as long as needed to provide you with our Services or applicable information about it. We may store data longer, but only so it cannot be tracked back to you. When Personal Data is no longer needed, we delete it using reasonable measures to protect it from unauthorized access or use.
EU Territory. We store Personal Data as long as needed to provide our Services. Traffic information is erased or made anonymous when it is no longer needed for transmission. Direct marketing and provision of value-added services information (including traffic information used for these purposes) are stored as long as the same is necessary for the provision of these activities or up to the time when a User opts out from such use in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Other information is stored for as long as we consider it to be necessary for the provision of our Services. As explained in the GDPR statement, we strive to anonymize the data when possible. If you decide to exercise your right to erasure, we will inform our Providers to delete all your data.
Non-EU Territory. We will retain collected information for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable legislation.
We care to ensure the security of Personal Data. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the information submitted to us, both during transmission and after receiving it. We maintain technical, physical, and administrative security measures to provide reasonable protection for your Personal Data.
There is no 100% secure method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We do not intentionally collect or maintain any kind of sensitive data or criminal offense data. Also, we never undertake profiling of personal data. If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected any kind of sensitive data or criminal offense data from any User, we will make reasonable efforts to delete such information from our records.
When you use our Services, other Users can see your username on the leaderboard on our Website and Application.
We work with third-party service providers who provide website development, hosting, maintenance, and other services for us. They may be located outside of the EEA. These contractors may have access to or process Personal Data on behalf of us as part of providing those services for us. We limit the information provided to these service providers to that which is reasonably necessary for them to perform their functions.
All data transfers are performed in accordance with the highest security regulations. All data processed by us is stored exclusively in secure hosting facilities provided by AWS US East (Northern Virginia).
We use a third-party payment processor, currently Stripe ("Payment Processor"), to assist in securely processing your payment information. If you pay with a credit card, the payment information that you provide through the Services is encrypted and transmitted directly to the Payment Processor. We do not store your Payment Information and do not control and are not responsible for the Payment Processors or their collection or use of your information.
We use the following third-party services:
Our Website uses Azure TTS, ElevenLabs, and PlayHT to perform speech recognition. When you use the speech recognition feature, the things you say will be recorded and sent to these services in order to convert what you say into text and to process your requests. We and our contractors may use your voice input, as long as it is collected in a form that does not personally identify you, to improve our Services. By using the speech recognition feature, you agree and consent to us and our contractors for transmission, collection, maintenance, processing, and use of this information, including your voice input, to provide and improve our speech recognition functionality in our Services.
